Jessore is the name of both a district and a town within that district in Bangladesh. It’s situated in south western Bangladesh and the district actually borders with India. This part of the country isn’t as famous as some others though there is a selection of things to see in Jessore.
Things to see include the birthplace and former home of poet Michael Modhushudhon Dutta. The home is now a museum that’s dedicated to his life and makes a nice place to spend an hour or so, plus there are attractive grounds surrounding the home and museum.
If you enjoy temples then there are several places within Jessore district where you can visit temple complexes. One complex, at Bhatnagar, has the ruins of eleven temples which were all dedicated to Lord Shiv. Though now in ruins the complex is impressive all the same. Seventeen temples once stood in a complex by the village of Dhulgram. Now only one temple remains and it features beautiful terracotta designs plus you can visit the ruins of the other 16 temples that once stood here.
The Naldanga Temple Complex was the most restored of all these complexes in Jessore. It was originally built in 1656 and the government actually restored the six temples here back in the 1980s. Unfortunately they were razed again during a riot and once more stand in ruins. The government again has a restoration project ongoing.
